Tuscan Bean Soup

Tuscan Bean Soup

Recipe: 1 can kidney beans, strained, 1 cup fresh baby spinach, 1 cup 10% cream, 3 cups chicken stock, 1 diced onion, 1 diced carrot, 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, salt and freshly ground back pepper to taste.

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil and saute the carrot and onion. Add the chicken stock and the beans and bring to a boil. Add the cream, baby spinach and thyme, season to taste and serve.

Tip: Whole milk can be used instead of 10% cream. Only for restaurant service cream would be better, as it is more stable than milk.
